I was just wondering if universities will prefer students to get higher than their grade requirements or are happy with just that. For example, Barts in A*AA, so would they differentiate between someone who got A*AA and say all A*s. Thank you!

Barts do, but they use A levels as part of their shortlisting algorithm. Most med schools just use them as a minimum requirement, shich would mean higher grades made no difference
